BLESSINGS AND APPRECIATIONS
My blessings and appreciations enfold the people who have made my dream of healing the heart of humanity, one heart at a time, a reality. First and foremost, my husband, Lee; my devoted support, the love of my life, the blessing that allowed for the spiritual awakening within me. My joy partner of more than 40 years, the father of my children, and the blessing of unconditional love in my life, Lee blesses me still from the realm of non-physical and guides my path with his unconditional love that is with me always. My eternal blessings to my three children who have supported and cheered me on all these many years. You are each a diamond in my treasure chest and when I think of you, I sparkle with delight.
I appreciate and bless my close circle of teachers who believed in the teachings and have added their voices and love, continually expanding all that we are. I appreciate all of those who call themselves students who found their way into my sphere of light and love, learned from me, and took the teaching out into their world. I call you teachers, uplifters, and healers, Divine Masters of the first order, and I bless our eternal connection always.
Life lived is a treasure chest filled with gems, jewels, pearls, sparkling diamonds, and soft downy puffs of light. We begin to gently save our treasures year after year, the newest ones being closest to the top. Sometimes, on a rainy day, we might venture into that secret place only we know about, just to see what we have stored away. Then we sift and sort our treasures, recalling the empowering moments shared.
Writing this book has been like that for me. Waking up in the early morning with a new idea or vantage point for clarification while writing this book requires reaching into my treasure chest of blessings to recall the people and the circumstances that activated my joy.
As I feel into the many layers of wisdom gained from years of seeking and allowing, I must say thank you to Jane Roberts and Rob Butts for The Seth Material. Each pearl on the strands of enlightenment Seth gave all of us would not have been as bright without the eternal wisdom I gained in those years. The luster of my life was realized through those teachings. As I attend the Abraham gatherings these days, Esther and Jerry Hicks feel like the more expanded version of those original teachings. My blessings and appreciations are deep and heartfelt for these beautiful people. I value the empowerment being spun into the fabric of humanity and want to continue to add to my song as well.
I will discuss a little about Ouna and my dolphin experience. This was in 1984 when she (Ouna) was teaching me about the multidimensional levels of the chakra systems. I had never even really understood the importance of chakras up to that point. I was in ministerial training learning about God and the Bible. This understanding that was evolving into the me I am today would lead me five years later into the Barbara Brennan School of Healing located in East Hampton, New York. My blessings and appreciations are boundless, as I learned so much in those years about chakras and the energetic body. I was also very fortunate to have been with Barbara in the first two years she opened her school in East Hampton. In fact, I was with each of my teachers as they embarked on their new expanded teachings, hmmmm. We owned a summer home in Hampton Bays for many years, and that was really a power place for me, my husband, and my children to grow and play. Those years with Barbara Brennan were life-changing and expansive as I had already experienced a natural ability to transmit healing energy several years before.
My life was expanding rapidly and in different directions when a new teacher, Dr. Robert Jaffe, came into my church. Dr. Jaffe was just awakening to a new teaching, which he offered to us. We became friends and I later worked with him and taught with him in Sedona, Arizona, and Europe. I often referred to him lovingly as my Blue Jean Buddha. So you can see my treasure chest is rich and deep with blessings from these wise and generous people.
In 1980, I was introduced to Marcos Orbito, a Filipino psychic surgeon who was to change the course of my life and the life of Lee, my husband. During the course of two years, I traveled with him and witnessed the phenomenon of true psychic surgery. These experiences were needed for the foundation of my understanding that all illness begins and ends with our thought-filled belief systems. Recently I heard Abraham, channeled through Esther Hicks, say that no one chooses disease for any reason; we allow [or accept] it by default. It is time for us to change that old and worn-out flawed premise. The change that is to come is to deliberately choose health and well-being by aligning with our value and worth and trusting that this awareness is truly so. I am so appreciative of this experience because, through my personal witnessing of hundreds of people in many circumstances of disease, I know that how you think and feel about how you think attracts the reality you live.
My dearest friend and artist Rachael, now passed, befriended me when I first moved to Las Vegas in 1976. We met in Temple Ner Tamid where Lee and I chose to attend services. Rachel and I were always learning and searching for new and exciting things to explore. She called me one day to tell me about a channel coming to town who spoke for an extraterrestrial named Bashar. The five years we traveled to California or the Flamingo Library in Las Vegas to listen to this astounding information will enrich me for the rest of my eternal life. Rachel and I took the first groups to swim with the dolphins in Key Largo. We laughed all the time. I deeply appreciated her unconditionally loving friendship, her amazing insights, and her beautiful self. She blesses me still.
This book has been written and rewritten within the chambers of my heart for many years now. Activate Joy became a reality when I decided to write about my journey in this life. As soon as that decision was made and the first words appeared on the page, these words soon filled 20 pages. I called Janet Reed, who had attended only one Inner Focus workshop, and had offered her services as an editor should I ever need her. She was a wonderful blessing and through her help gave me the courage to continue on. Thank you.
